Why giant hogweed is a problem in Wallasey
On Wallasey properties, giant hogweed sap causes severe phototoxic burns and long-term light sensitivity, which makes it a genuine safety issue on footpaths, riverbanks and school boundaries. Wallasey's coastal promenade and former railway embankments near the Wirral shoreline have become colonised by knotweed, which spreads through disturbed ground around New Brighton's Victorian fortifications.
